Balai Seni Maybank's new exhibit celebrates the intersection of art and science

Visitors walk past 'Boxxie-Head', an installation that pays tribute to the now-extinct Sumatran Rhino. This artwork, created by Verly Veto Vermol, Zuraidy Abd Rahim and Khairul Nizan Mohd Aris, is made entirely from cardboard and highlights the ingenuity of recycling and repurposing waste.

The Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) hopes to broaden the awareness - and enormous potential - of art science with the ArtScience Prize 2022 exhibition at Balai Seni Maybank at Menara Maybank in Kuala Lumpur.

According to the ASM ArtScience Initiative chairperson, Emerita Professor Tan Sri Dr Mazlan Othman, art science is a subject that motivates people to look at the human experience of nature and society in two different worlds, the artistic and the scientific.
